Warm-up result leaves ODI series untouched
This fixture was a tour warm-up, not part of the three-match ODI series between Australia Women and Bangladesh Women. Queensland’s victory therefore neither decides the series nor establishes, levels or extends a series lead: the series proper remains unstarted.
Bangladesh next face Australia Women on Saturday, October 10, with another ODI scheduled for Tuesday, October 13. Sharmin’s 68 and Habiba’s four wickets offer positive individual returns to build on as the visitors turn their attention to the international fixtures.
